so i drove into Chicago for a meeting yesterday.i was running late and found a metered parking spot within a block of my destination on a very busy street (ontario street just east of michigan avenue).

only problem...no change.

there was a city employee who was emptying the change out of the meters.i asked for change. he said he couldn't do that. i asked someone else on the street for change.they didn't have it.next thing i know, he reset the meter for 2 hours and said happy holidays!
